hi,

Almost everytime I turn on my computer my ie is hijacked by somethign called
search 2 web. I tihkns it a toolbar and it adds a toolbar, tons of these
favorites to my list and reorganizes my favorites and changes my homepage to
search2web, also it adds a bunch of things to my desktop. I disable the
toolbar as it says u can and delete all the stuff it adds. I check my control
panel and my programs file folder and there is no search2web program in
there. When I start my computer up or as it jsut did today exit Ie it starts
up again. Can anyone help me with this problem. O btw I also used spybot and
it didnt turn up.

Thanks,

-Eric
 
You should probably run a complete Virus Scan with your updated AntiVirus
Program.
Go here and follow the instructions:

Download all recommended programs in No.1,
Follow the instruction in No. 2 & 3 for using the programs.
Search2web probably is not the name of the program that is causing the
problem. Did you see any unfamiliar programs? Also do you have Spybot 1.3
& is it updated with the latest definitions?

See if you have messenger plus on your computer. I am seeing that almost
100% of that problem is coming from messenger related stuff.
